Question

james ii angers parliament by supporting catholicism. english protestants encourage william of orange to seize control of england. which statement best completes the diagram? a. oliver cromwell leads parliamentary forces against the english monarchy. b. the signing of the english bill of rights limits the power of the monarchy. c. the catholic king of spain sends the spanish armada to invade england. d. elizabeth i promotes religious tolerance for catholics and protestants.

Explanation:

Let's analyze each option:

• Option A: Oliver Cromwell's actions were in the 17th - century (1640s - 1650s), while the events in the diagram are related to the Glorious Revolution (1688 - 1689). So, this option is out of time - context.
• Option B: After William of Orange (William III) took control (Glorious Revolution), the English Bill of Rights was signed in 1689. This bill limited the power of the monarchy, which is a direct consequence of the events in the diagram (James II's actions leading to the invitation of William of Orange).
• Option C: The Spanish Armada was in 1588, which is much earlier than the events in the diagram (late 17th - century).
• Option D: Elizabeth I's reign was from 1558 - 1603, which is not related to the Glorious Revolution events in the diagram.

Answer:

B. The signing of the English Bill of Rights limits the power of the monarchy.
